I don't get why your post was moderated "troll"...

Anyway, what's wrong with Celsius for temperature, please?
0 - is when water starts to freeze vs Farenheit's temperature when mixture of water and salt (and something else) starts to freeze.
100 - is boiling water (dayum hot). vs Farenheit's 97.88 "normal body temperature" (WTF?)
Farenheit is also finer than it needs to be (you don't really distinguish between 97 and 95, whereas 2-3 degrees Celsius is already noticeable)
So C correlates to real word situation much better than F.

A foot, is not just a foot, but a certain guy's foot. If I could measure things using mine, and that number would still work for others, it would make sense. But it's somebody else's foot (some English king?), how can I use it? There is no problem assessing what size things are in metric system either.

I can give you one counter example though, of imperial units still being used in Europe: hose diameter. It's still quite often measured in inches. 1", 5/4, 3/4, 1/2 inch is easier to remember, than millimeters.

Trajectory of the rocket was not hard to calculate.
Soviet Radars closely watched the rocket.
Here is what Alexey Leonov (soviet cosmonaut) said about the hoax theory (I've translated only important part):

"... we had military unit 32103, which supported space transmission... Unlike the rest of Soviet Union, we watched Armstrong and Aldring landing on the moon... "

Grechko, another famous soviet cosmonaut adds to it:

"We know for sure that Americans landed on the moon. When we were receiving the transmission, it was from the moon, not from Hollywood"...

Add to it: hundreds of kilograms of moon soil, which are identical to several hundred grams brought to Earth by soviet robots..

Flamebait, eh?... Good Lord....

I have been following news, somewhat.
I know Snowden has leaked a lot of intelligence materials and as far as I remember, it was mostly about (mostly illegal) surveillance, which, as such, doesn't qualify as "terrible act" in my books.

But torture, eh? He did make statements about it, but it was a fucking senate report: WTF did he "leak" about torture?

And, oh, I live in Germany. And, nope, I don't care about Merkel being spied on. Considering what a pathetic motherfucker our previous chancellor was, I even feel a bit safer, if an ally keeps an eye on them.

For what it's worth. (I've missed why one has to upload this data to Apple, though)

Horrible acts? Care to name a few?

Well, there is quite a bit of tax in that price (although 36 cent is a bit high, I pay about 28 $ cent) and clearly, you cannot switch to renewable energy, without huge investments and that money should come from somewhere.

Note that gasoline is also quite expensive in Germany (again, taxes).
1 liter of 95 ROZ ("Eurosuper") costs about 1.45Euro, i.e. about $6.22 per gallon

2030 commitment implies 2020 commitment (as you are not expected to get there overnight)
Besides, there already is 2020 commitment (EU):

https://ec.europa.eu/energy/en...

Germany is already beyond that, though, with 30%+ of electricity coming from renewable sources (as of 2014).

Nuclear power in Germany
In 2001 a law was passed requiring the closing of all nuclear power plants within a period of 32 years. The shutdown time was extended to 2040 by a new government in 2010. After the Fukushima incident, the law was abrogated and the end of nuclear energy was set to 2022

Renewable energy in Germany
Net-generation from renewable energy sources in the German electricity sector has increased from 6.3% in 2000 to about 30% in 2014

Renewable sources:
40% - wind
30% - biomass
16% - solar
14% - hydropower

There are countries which are way ahead of Germany in this regard, for instance, Sweden.

Compared to USA where they are paying 10k+ (several times more than that in top universities) that's still very cheap.

FX-9590 is the fastest AMD CPU you can buy and it is on par with i7 4770k. (as usual, behind in single threaded test, ahead in multi-threaded tests)
http://cpuboss.com/cpu/AMD-FX-...
It IS faster than i5, if you are after multi-threaded load.
On top of it, it has margin corresponding to "my fastest processor".
It has no GPU.

Your choice of CPUs to compare reviewed i5 to is questionable, to say the least.
A10 APUs that were reviewed by Anandtech, cost half/third of Intel's, yet are within 20% performance wise.

While computers are fundamental, programming them is not.

Except that's not just a belief, but results of the studies.
The fact that grown ups are different is clear (although studied as well), but there was a theory about all that being a result of society influence, so scientiest went far into early stages.

Couple of month old babies were examined: girls tended to choose humans, boys tended to choose "things".

Then there was a doubt, that, oh well, maybe those babies were already "spoiled" by the society, so someone went as far as to check one-two day old kids.

Boys were interested in things, girls in human faces. (I didn't know kids could see at that age).

Another studies: increased levels of testesteron have a very clear impact on kids development:
1) it will take longer to learn to speak
2) it will have greater interest for "things" mechanisms etc.

There are numerous studies showing that:
1) girls/women do better on average
2) boys/men are overly represented in both top and bottom parts

Which suddenly explains why Nobel laureats are mostly men, and, cough, CEOs too.

Interest rates also reflect... opportunities.
In fact, German banks feared not that money would not be returned.
In fact, they were giving money to an already bancrupt state, knowing, that Merkel and Co will not let much harm happen to them.

Georgia (Republic of) did came of better, thanks to IMF.
After war with Russia in 2008 and subsequent econimical crisis all over the world, Georgia got money to compensate for harsh decline in foreign direct investment and quickly recovered.

I dislike current populist Greek government (and live in Germany), but there is some injustice in what was done to Greece in my opinion.
Greece f*cked up big time by spending more than earning, there is no question about that.
The problem is, what happened afterwards.
And that was new loans AT INSANE RATES.
Last time I've checked check dept per citizen numbers, Greek was roughly on the level of Germany.
But interest rates they are paying (and that mostly to German banks), oh my goodness:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...

So there IS a combination of incompetent reckless government and unfair interest rates. (yeah, if you don't want the money, don't take it, yadayada, I know)
